You don't know what's beneath the surface.

Like there could be somebody who disappeared years and years ago and they're just there at the bottom of the lake.

Like you'll never know.

You don't know if that stick that you think you brushed across is just someone's hand.

Every lake gets to have a chance on the starlight of like being a spooky lake.

I actually go through that for inspiration.

I just visited Lake Tahoe a couple weeks ago.

I went on a Spooky Lakes road trip.

So Lake Tahoe is interesting to me.

Some of the basic facts about Lake Tahoe is it's one of the oldest lakes in the United States.

It's like over 2 million years old.

And it's the second deepest lake in the United States.

So it's deeper than Lake Superior, but it's a little less deep than Lake Crater Lake.

And so it's one of the deepest lakes.

And what's interesting about it is that it has kind of a similar history to Lake Superior and these cold freshwater lakes, which don't give up their dead.

People who die in a cold freshwater lake and sink to the bottom, they are potentially never going to be seen again, but their bodies are preserved in perpetuity.

There is a diver there who disappeared in the early 2000s or like maybe the late 1990s.

And his body reappeared 20 years later.

Somebody discovered his body and it was almost in perfect condition.

It was still the way it was 20 years ago.
